Our newborn was born during the winter holidays and we had discussed a tentative time based on our original due date.

Thank you Chieu for the amazing photos my wife and I loved the photos.

Do not waste your time in Sweet Pea Studios. I had a bad feeling when I booked since all their…read morereviews were very old (yrs old), I should have listened to my gut. This has been the most difficult business that I have had to deal with during such a difficult time (postpartum and medical conditions). It has been blatantly obvious that she has no good faith effort in doing business with us and to the point its just unethical and unprofessional. I have tried really hard to work with Krystal Culpepper and gone above and beyond because $400 is a lot of money for us and it's just not fair. She is either too busy or doesn't care because she have already been paid 65% of total amount. Krystal has shown zero professionalism, been unreliable and has shown a lack of good faith effort in your business practices. Krystal purposely taking advantage of situation and acting maliciously since she got mostly paid already. Krytal emailed me that we have breached contract for not paying 3 days in advance of session date is ridiculous business sense. She wanted us to blindly pay her when we received zero communications. 1. I booked our May 10 session on March 19th 2024 and heard NOTHING proactive from her since then. No follow up on needs, preferences, types of pictures we wanted, locations, where to meet, confirm time, nothing. Only the automatic payment reminders that have always had the wrong due dates since starting to do business with you in July 2023. a. I had to follow up with Krystal on May 1st to confirm time since I never got final confirmation with accurate time. b. I again, followed up with Krystal on May 9 to confirm, location we should meet, what to bring, etc. No response. c. In all these exchanges, Krystal Culpepper didn't even bother as a business courtesy, to remind payment was due AND be professional and finalize details. Krsytal Culpepper purposely waited until noon the day of our session day to cancel on us. I can go one, before this session, I had inquired about rescheduling session and after telling her that never mind, I will keep my original session because I sensed how difficult it was going to be... Krystal said she would accommodate to my time but ended up limiting 4 out of 7 days and blocking her calendar after I had pulled available dates from her calendar. Mind you, this was a family session that we had to settle because she wouldn't refund us our newborn session deposit. Or, how Krystal texted me the morning of our schedule newborn session date to cancel due to her medical reasons and were later told her return date was unknown but our newborn reservation fee of 50% was non-refundable. We had to mourn the fact that we were not going to be newborn pictures with our last baby as we could not afford to schedule another session despite the fact that SHE cancelled on us and were UNABLE to provide services. Instead, she "offered" us to reschedule our newborn session, how do you reschedule a newborn session when your baby is already three months old? Even though the contract said "newborn session reservation fee." She said she offering to transfer to another type of session ??!?!?! After she breached the contract. She refuses to refund us our "newborn session reservation fee," that she was unable to provide services and zero services have been provided--my baby is now 7.5 months old.

When booking my wedding photographer, I talked to a few different photographers and within the…read morefirst two minutes of talking to Pamela, I knew she was the one. She took the time to ask what I wanted and really wanted to know what I wanted to get from my photos. She asked about my details and what style I wanted. She was extremely sweet and from that phone conversation alone I could tell she had a true passion for wedding photography. Pamela wasn't just my wedding photographer, she was a friend. I booked her about a year in advance and she checked in periodically throughout that year. We had several interactions leading up to the day (phone, email, in person) where she spent time helping me plan the ends and odds of my wedding, she even helped me come up with my wedding timeline. She also visited my venue to brainstorm ideas before the big day and even sent me an itinerary. She really thinks of everything! On my wedding day, Pamela & her assistant Sergey (I hope the spelling is right) were phenomenal. They got a ton of great pictures and came up with a lot of amazing ideas for photos. They both are extremely detail oriented. They made sure my train was perfect at all times, that Matt's tie was straight, you name it, they saw it. At the end of the night, they even offered to stay later to get additional photos. I am extremely grateful for those two. I then received my wedding photos within 2 weeks, not just your standard preview or sneak peak but ALL of them and on top of that they look AMAZING. Thank you Pamela! I can't wait to get another excuse to use you in the future!

We went with Pamela because she was consistently rated the #1 wedding photographer in the DC area…read moreby weddingwire, theknot, etc and because she was referred to us by a friend. We are so glad that we did! The pictures came out amazing and we hardly knew she was there. I would have paid twice as much for the album and digitals that we ordered. Pamela is very professional and will make sure you get every picture that you want. She also captured hundreds of other amazing artistic shots that I would have never dreamed of. Bottomline- if you are having a wedding in the DC area, or want photos for another occassion or corporate event, go with Pamela!

What you need. He calls the instructions and guides you through the shoot. And let me tell you... every picture is a touchdown. Another thing: the turnaround time is quick.

You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.
